Actually Gabor, using your solution with 'atop', which I had not considered, it will work with base graphics:
par(oma = c(0, 0, 2, 0), mar = c(5, 6, 0.25, 2), lheight = 1) plot(1:10, ylab = expression(atop(" "^14*C*"-glyphosate line1", line2))) HTH, Marc On Fri, 2006-08-04 at 12:09 -0400, Gabor Grothendieck wrote: > Sorry, you wanted a ylab=, not a main=.
